A research paper entitled “Supporting fact-checking process with IT tools” has been published under open access. The study presents a detailed analysis of the fact-checking process, based on a literature review and interviews with organizations specializing in this field. This combined theoretical knowledge with practical experiences of experts, which allowed to identify research gaps and challenges in current information verification methods.
A scientific article titled “Exploring the Challenges and Potential of Generative AI: Insights from an Empirical Study” has been published under open access. As part of this work, an experiment was conducted to examine to what extent content generated by GenAI can be considered reliable (i.e., free of false information) and how easily GenAI can be manipulated into producing misinformation.
